This edition of ZEPARU’s Economic Barometer sets out the key economic data for Zimbabwe, predominantly covering the period January to December 2015. It is an easy to access compendium of information for anyone interested in the Zimbabwean economy.

The composite leading indicator (CLI) index shows that economic activity has generally been improving in the first half of 2014 but has slowed down in the first four months of the second half before contracting in November 2014.

Global growth is projected to strengthen gradually through 2013, averaging 3.5%, on the back of strong policy actions that have lowered acute crisis risks in the Euro area and the United States of America (USA).

In this sixth edition of the Economic Barometer, like its predecessors, we sought to give you our valued readers, a review and insights on the major economic developments that took place in the preceding quarter.
